Construction Details
- Made by hand in the USA from a corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend
- White on the front, top, sides, and bottom to reflect sunlight and keep the camera cool when shooting on or above the water's surface
- Clear in the back to allow you to monitor the O-ring seal and maintain your view of the camera's rear controls
- Nearly neutral buoyancy in freshwater
- Open-groove design suspends the rear O-ring in the natural position, allowing for easier maintenance and preventing accidental twisting or stretching
- Front-loading mounting plate enables quick camera installation and does not need to be removed in order for you to gain battery or memory card access
- The mounting plate has a 1/4"-20 threaded hole on the bottom for connection to an optional tripod

- DL1 supports rear curtain synchronization and allows exposure compensation to be adjusted using the control in the camera
- Non-Ikelite strobes, such as those from Sea & Sea, INON, and Nikonos, will still work in manual mode only
Controls and Handling
- Shutter and AF-ON (back-button focus) levers are curved and extendable for comfortable use when holding the optional right-hand quick-release grip
- An extra-large, soft-touch zoom knob is located next to the grip handle
- All push-button controls are machined and hard anodized aluminum to reduce weight and resist salt build-up
- Ergonomic mechanical push buttons, dials, and levers afford access to all camera functions except joystick up/down/left/right, Fn1, Fn2, diopter adjustment dial, or DOF button
- Control symbols are laser-etched into the back of the housing, so they won't fade or fall off with time
- Super eye Viewfinder enhances your view through the camera's OVF when you're wearing a mask
- You can remove the Supereye quickly if you'd like to attach the separately sold Straight or 45° Magnified Viewfinder instead
- Hard anodized aluminum tray with a left-hand quick-release grip affords improved balance and handling while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm
- 1/4"-20 mounts and other mounting points enable connection to a tripod and the addition of accessories
- Another 1/4"-20 threaded mount is located front and center on the housing above the port mount, allowing for the attachment of focus light, GoPro action camera, or other lightweight pieces of equipment
- Optional Cable Grip or Aluminum Top Handle can be added for easier carrying if you're using 2 strobes
Lens Port System
- Ships without a required lens port
- Accepts all Ikelite Dry Lock (DL) dome and flat ports, allowing you to shoot with a wide variety of lenses
- Zoom gears are available for many lenses
- DL port system accommodates lenses with large diameters
- Provides added security against leaks at the surface, thanks in large part to the included vacuum valve that helps you check watertight integrity before the dive
- #47011 pump is required in order to remove excess air and actually create a vacuum
